My insurance covers a number of WLS types. However, I'm trying to figure out what the following means:

- Open and Laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch
I know this is the DS forum and that there is also a separate BPD forum which makes me think the two are very different. So then tell me, what is BPD with DS? Is that what everyone here calls a DS?
Goodness... confusing stuff!

You can find a list of vetted DS surgeons at www.dsfacts.com The surgeon you have listed does NOT do the DS, or at least does not have a history of doing the DS---and you do NOT want to be in someone's first 50 or so attempts.
